Design a Logo for A to Z Group

Résumé de concours

Hi all! I am starting a new business venture and I am wanting a logo design to complement it.

The "over-arching" name of the company will be: A to Z Group (my initials are A.Z!)

But... for this time around, I am only looking for a logo for my initial venture, which is "A to Z Education". I haven't really decided on a particular 'feel' for the logo, but it must satisfy the following criteria:

1. It must be versatile so that the "A to Z" part of the logo can be changed interchangeably down the track. So when I start other ventures within the group (A to Z Environmental Systems, A to Z Hospitality, A to Z Financial, etc, etc...) the "A to Z" part of it will stay the same, with just the later parts of the name being changed around. I want people in the future to know at one glance, that a company is part of the A to Z group.
2. I haven't decided on a colour scheme or anything as well, but keeping in line with Point 1 above, the logo should be versatile enough that it can work with different colours, and still be recognisable that it is part of the A to Z Group.
3. The logo must be professional without being boring. As it is a generic feel that I'm after, I want something that is easy to recognise, relatively simple, but not so boring/cheap that it looks like I produced on WordArt!
4. And lastly, the logo should be easy to work with. What does this mean? Well I would like the winning bidder to also design the business card for the business (if they are willing, and the price is right) so please keep that in mind!

If there is anything I've missed, or you require more information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly!

Tableau de clarification publique

REDesign has just update #350 to show the variety of colors, elements to choose. We also include "tagline positions" to show how Logo with tagline & sub-brand can be used in documents and, for example, a standee.

Totally, I cannot deny that it's your own creation. It is just a coincidence but we could agree that it has some similarities. However, I really like #468 which is energetic, very flexible (with the orange shape) & symbolic (easy to build a strong brand awareness).

Submitting my entry #379. Can you just at least confirm if my entries are visible. Because sometimes, entries are not properly uploaded that's why the contest holder can't see or view it. Appreciate it. Thanks!

And guys I can't state this enough, but DON'T JUST SUBMIT A LOGO ON A BLACK BACKGROUND! Yes, it definitely catches my attention and it looks great, but I definitely won't be choosing the winner solely on a logo submitted on a black background. If you look at my previous posts, you will see that I need to be able to scale the logo into different uses in the future.

A black BG really limits my options with business card, website, etc, so I need something that works better on a white back ground. Even if I like your original submission, I will ask you to submit a white one as well, so please use your time efficiently!

PS: Some people are submitting both in the one go, which I highly recommend! :)

LOL, that's done to show a preview of how it would look on a dark background. You'll receive your design with transparent background in high quality vector format.

Again, you're missing the point. Of course I will receive the final product in that form. But I need to know what I'm going to be looking at as a finished product, on a white background - not black.

For people that need further clarification - yes, your logo might look good on a dark background, but I need to SEE it on a white background, to judge whether I like it or not in a real-life application.

And can anybody tell me why almost EVERYBODY is using the orange/light-blue colour combination???

Hi everybody, I've extended the contest because of the high quality of last-minute entries I've been getting in the past 24 hours! And apologies if your XP decreases due to my rejecting your entry, but it's much easier for me to see my top favourites that way - all on the same page! Nothing personal, but I need to be able to sort through the plethora of new entries on a daily basis, and have to be able to cut out the ones that aren't what I'm looking for.

Guys, I realise some of you are going with the "bold and professional" look - which is fine - HOWEVER.....

Everything looks really full of impact when it's done black-white-grey on a highly contrasted background. What I want to know is, will your logo design be "future-proof", in that it is versatile enough to be used with different colours. Yes, I'm interested in how it would look now, but also show me that it will work in the future. I want to choose a logo now, and work with forever, without having to worry about the colours!
